AC Drives User’s Manual
Safety

Warning! Only a competent electrician may install the ACS 400V.

Warning! Dangerous voltages are present when mains supply is connected. Wait at least 5
minutes after disconnecting the supply before removing the cover. Measure the voltage
at DC terminals (Uc+, Uc-) before servicing the unit. See ACS 400 User’s Manual
Reference Section E.

Warning! Even when the motor is stopped there are dangerous voltages present at Power Circuit
terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2 and Uc+, Uc-.

Warning! Even when the ACS 400V is powered down, there may be dangerous external voltages
at relay terminals RO1A, RO1B, RO1C, RO2A, RO2B, RO2C.

Warning! Never attempt to repair a broken unit; contact the supplier.

Warning! The ACS 400V will start up automatically after an input voltage interruption if the
external run command is on.

Warning! When the control terminals of two or more ACS100/140/160/400/400V units are
connected in parallel, the auxiliary voltage for these control connections must be taken
from a single source which can either be one of the units or an external supply.

Warning! The heat sink may reach a high temperature (see ACS 400 User’s Manual Reference
Section S, Table 11).

Warning! The ACS 400V unit with a RFI filter cannot be used in distribution networks isolated
from earth (floating networks, IT networks). Otherwise the net will be connected with the
earth potential via filter capacitors.

If the drive is connected to IT network, grounding screws and the RFI filter must be removed. Refer to
ACS 400 User’s Manual Reference section I Floating Network for instructions on screw locations.
Note! For more technical information refer to ACS 400 User’s Manual or contact your local ABB
supplier.

Installing the ACS 400V
Mount the ACS 400V with the RFI filter on the wall. With ACS 400V for powers 15 kW and more (frame
size R3 and R4) the RFI filter can be mounted either below or next to the drive.

Figure 1 ACS 400V Frame sizes R1 and R2 (3.0 - 11 kW).

Connect the RFI filter to the supply (line) side of the drive. See ACS 400V and corresponding RFI filter
mounting dimensions from the table below.
Mount the IP54 protection cover(s) to the RFI filter end(s) to get IP54 protection class for the EMC filter.
The frequency converter unit protection class depends on the ordered type. In frame size R1 and R2
one IP54 filter cover is required on the supply cable entry end of the filter. In frame size R3 and R4 two
IP54 filter covers are required, one on each end. See the following figures for mounting and cabling.

Controlling the ACS 400V
The ACS400V can be used from external or local control locations.

External control possibilities

1. Control from I/O: Depending on the I/O connections ACS 400V can be used in alternative operation
modes. These modes, which are explained later in more detail, are designed to meet the requirements
of several HVAC applications:
• Speed Control via External Control Signal 0-10 V, see page 12
• Start / Stop with 1 Constant Speed, see page 13
• Start / Stop with 2 Constant Speeds, see page 14
• PID Control with 1 Setpoint, see page 15
• PID Control with 2 Setpoints, see page 16
2. Control via Fieldbus: Modbus protocol is as default fieldbus in ACS 400V. In order to use other
fieldbuses an external fieldbus module and an ACS 400 DDCS adapter must be used, both are
available as options. N2 fieldbus is also available as embedded fieldbus option for ACS 400V.

Local control possibilities

1. Control from control panel: ACS 400V can be directly controlled from control panel without making
any connections to the ACS 400V I/O. In this case motor starts and stops from control panel’s START/
STOP button and required speed (Hz) is set with control panel.
2. Control with PC-tool DriveWindow Light: For set-up and control purposes the PC-tool DriveWindow
Light is also available as an option. For using this tool ACS 400V has to be equipped with an optional
ACS 140 RS 485/232 adapter.
Contact your local ABB supplier for more information on options.

Operating with ACS-PAN-A Control Panel
The ACS 400V is delivered with an ACS-PAN-A control panel, which is an alphanumeric control panel
with LCD display and multiple languages. The control panel can be connected to and detached from
the converter at any time. If the control panel is detached when the panel is in local mode, then the ACS
400V will trip and stop. If the panel is detached in remote mode, then the ACS 400V will continue
operation as before. The panel can be used to copy parameters to other ACS 400V converters with the
same software revision can be viewed from (parameter 3301).

Parameterising ACS 400V
The parameters of ACS 400V are pre-set to enable operation according to every ACS 400V operation
mode in HVAC applications. In commissioning the drive the user is however required to set a limited
number of parameters according to the motor and application. The table below lists these and the pre-
set HVAC parameter default values. Also all other parameters can be set with the help of ACS 400
User’s Manual. Descriptions of parameters can be found in ACS 400 User’s Manual.
Check that the full Menu is visible in the ACS 400V when starting parameterising. Go through, in the
given order, all the parameters which are marked with an X in the Set column:
• First change the parameter 9902 APPLICATION MACRO to value 6 (PID CONTROL)
• Set the motor parameter.
After this the ACS 400V is ready for operation if connection is according to one of the five ACS 400V
operation modes. If changes are needed to the values of relevant parameters in these connections,
they can easily be changed with the help of the HVAC parameter table (Table 1) and PID regulator
tables (Table 2 and Table 3).

Using Other Features of ACS 400V

With ACS 400V the user can also take advantage of the standard ACS 400 frequency converter
features. All the standard ACS 400 functionality is available.
The parameter default values of the ACS 400V differ from the default values of the standard ACS 400
drive in some points. The ACS 400V parameter values can be manually changed to any other value.
Note! If some another macro from ACS 400 User’s Manual is used, the parameter values need to be
manually changed. Changing parameter 9902 APPLICATION MACRO will always cause the ACS 400V to
show ACS 400V specific default values for parameters specified in tables 1, 2 and 3.

Conducted emission with input filters ACS400-IF11-3 and ACS400-IF21-3 complies with the limits for
unrestricted distribution class in First Environment as specified in EN61800-3 (EN50081-1) provided
that maximum motor cable length is 30 m and switching frequency 4 kHz.

Distribution Networks Isolated from Earth

Input filters designed for ACS 400V cannot be used in an isolated, or high impedance earthed industrial
distribution networks.

Line current harmonics

The standard EN 61800-3 refers to EN 61000-3-2 which specifies limits for harmonic current emissions
for equipment intended to be connected to public low-voltage distribution systems.

Low-Voltage Public Supply Network

The limits and requirements of the EN 61000-3-2 apply for equipment with rated current ≤16A. The
ACS 400V is a professional equipment to be used in trades, professions or industries and which is not
intended for sale to the general public. Therefore the ACS 400V with a total rated power greater than
1kW conforms with EN 61000-3-2.

Industrial Networks
If ACS 400V is used in an industrial installation for which the EN 61000-3-2 is not relevant, a
reasonable economical approach which considers the total installation shall be used.
Typically a single low power equipment like ACS 400V does not cause a significant voltage distortion to
network. However, the user shall be aware of the values of the harmonics currents and voltages
occurring within the power supply system before connecting the ACS 400V, as well as the internal
impedance of the supply system. The current harmonic levels of the ACS 400V under rated load
conditions are available on request and the assessment procedure given in appendix B of the EN
61800-3 may be used as a guide.
